Latent membrane protein 2B (LMP2B) is expressed during latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, but little is known about its role. The goal of this study was to determine whether an LMP2B homologue is conserved in the rhesus monkey lymphocryptovirus (LCV). Both rhesus LCV LMP2A and LMP2B genes were cloned and sequenced. The rhesus LCV LMP2B gene is positionally conserved, and the EBNA-2 responsiveness and the bidirectional nature of the LMP1-LMP2B promoter have also been functionally conserve ...[more]
